I just wanted to confess that I'm compelled to watch the video again, but I'm kinda nervous about it. I just keep thinking about how it rights itself on the ice and . . . I can't do it. It's really unnerving. I had no idea I could be freaked like that. Thanks for teaching me something about myself.
The fact that I can be made to feel emotions for a machine that I'm watching on a machine... unreal. Makes me think it really may be true that carbon life was just a way to pave the way for silicon.

Clowns, nuclear war, and balancing robots. Huh.
